looking good but i must say you have done the last bit the hard way when doing a 4x4 cosworth its best to put the box / motor / shafts / diff / all togever on the front beam then put the hole car over it all in one go job done . shame you have to go off to work again now that your so in to it

Yeah thats the way i would have done it at home mate but this was a favour in a working garage Aly and the boys have paying customers that are coming in so if they needed the ramp we could get it off without to much hassle.

Spent a wee bit of time sorting the suspension ride height out. Think it looks excellent myself, might have difficulty getting over the speed bumps outside the house.

Refurbished the front driveshafts and fitted them. No pics though!



Boys were busy today with other cars so didn’t manage to get the tank finished but took some more underside pics.

Just looks so good.

Are the wheels staying dark or going silver to freshen up the outside??

yes mine is a 4x4 shell that we cut for the project, if i am following you right the gearbox wont fit, it just need a small section cut out on the drivers side of the transmission tunnel and it will fit. Get a build thread up and let us see it.

As Cutch say's you'll have to increse the tunnel on the driverside so it clears the transfer diff / front propshaft.
you might find that the gearbox mount wont fit in the 2wd gearbox tunnel as the mounts are in a different position
also make sure you check for clearence on the front chassis legs for the front drive shafts

Just paid for Pro, dont know how long it will take to reset though. Should be back soon guys.

Carlo, hopefully next time i am home it will be running and the time after that it will have all the interior finished and be a proper road going car, will bring it down for you to have a look.
